Hip Lateral Rotation External Rotation
Rotating the thigh outward against light resistance, whether standing or lying on your side, targets the smaller hip rotator muscles that stabilize the pelvis during walking and squatting. These muscles are easy to neglect since they don't show up in most pressing or pulling exercises.
